We went for a short ride last Thursday. I'm sure some of you have heard of when you get on a really weakbacked horse or a heavy horse or a horse that's just unbalanced in general and they feel like two different horses front to back. Well he felt like two completely different horses left to right. It was so wonky and off feeling. Just so unbalanced with one super tall foot and one super short and underrun. Hoof soreness though, he was probably a 3 on a 1-10 scale so not too bad. Really he was just short. We didn't do anything, ended up doing some stretching and walking. Did a few trot strides but not much. I felt like he needed a little movement and circulation to those feet though.
I'll be super interested to watch his shoulders even out once his feet get evened out. Right now he's still got one super wonky large shoulder and one regular one. It's also going to completely change my saddle fit but once we get that far, i'm going to take it as an accomplishment and a huge step in the right direction!
